Sign-ups begin on Friday, May 20, for the Commerce Public Library's summer reading program. This year's theme is "Ocean of Possibilities."
The online Beanstack program is set up for patrons to keep up with summer reading, but paper logs will also be available. Flyers with information about special programs during the summer, as well as details of the prizes that may be earned for reading, will be given out at school and at the library. Children and teens can pick up a make-and-take craft each week during the summer. This information will also be on the Library's Facebook page and the Commerce's Mainstreet Facebook page. Some of the children's crafts include a sea turtle, a pirate magnet, and a fish windsock. Teens may stop by to pick up crafts to make seashell necklaces, rainbow sensory jars and sun prints.
The first summer reading program will be a drop-in where teens and adults will be invited to relax and paint some watercolor sea creatures. This is beginner-friendly with no drawing required and will be held on Saturday, May 21, and on June 4.
There will also be an exhibit of the artwork made by students in Laura Cox's Story Book Art Club. These students have been meeting monthly with Cox over the past year, and this exhibit will present many of their creations. It will be held on Tuesday, May 24, from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
